    Day 7 - Part 6 - End of the journey

    May 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    We had lunch at restaurant Hot Springs 2 (Ollanta has hot springs about ½ block from our hotel) and went back to Ollanta to catch a bus to Cusco. The Inka trail hikers spent a lot of time figuring out how little oxygen they got when they were hiking: their highest point was Dead Woman’s Pass at 13,824 feet. I thought we were all going to get together for farewell dinner but people dispersed to their rooms. Some eventually met up in the lobby and both Katie and Heather invited me out for drinks after they dropped off laundry. Cindy and I had a room with a view on the top floor but her niece and grandniece had a triple so she left all her stuff in our room but slept with the others. The room they gave us was just a double bed and I was on my way down to complain when Cindy gave me the update on her sleeping arrangements.
